First Day Success

What was I even worried about?! These two were like preschool pros! I was worried about them missing me…they didn’t even know I was gone. I was worried about them being apart…they found surrogate brothers in their new classrooms. I was worried about their safety…God (and great teachers, TA’s, and volunteer parents) took precious care of my babies.

They had the BEST day – followed by an entire evening of re-living each playdough, crayon, and playground moment with each of the bigger Sparrows in This Nest. They had so much fun, in fact, that after nearly five hours of what I anticipated being an unsteady transition…they didn’t even want to come home with their mama!

Thank You, Lord, for answering this mother’s prayer for her babies’ first day of preschool. It was an even better experience for them than I could have imagined. Cute boys and their little backpacks with big smiles on their very important day – and we owe it all to You 🙂
